Jesus Heals the 10 Lepers (Luke 17:11-19)
This week’s Sunday School lesson from The Gospel Project is about Jesus Healing the 10 Lepers. When Jesus came walking near this group of lepers, their hearts lifted and they cried out to Him for mercy. For men as unclean as they, Jesus was their only hope. As He turned to them in mercy, He gave a simple command: “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” Ten lepers found healing on the way to the priest, and the lepers were healed from their disease as they responded to the word of God. However, only one turned around to find Jesus again and true gratitude pierced his heart. He could not take another step without returning to the Healer to express his feelings in worship.

Luke 17:11-19 (NIV)
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy (a) met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
Footnote – Luke 17:12 (a) The Greek word traditionally translated leprosy was used for various diseases affecting the skin.
